2 How to Use the Program Science Vocabulary Readers can be used in a variety of ways to meet the needs of your students. Using the Books to Teach Nonfiction Text The books provide excellent vehicles for teaching the genre of nonfiction. According to research, children should be exposed to a variety of nonfiction for improved reading and writing in the older grades (Papps, 1991; Sanacor, 1991, as cited in Kirsto and Bamford, 2004). See page 5 for the benefits of teaching nonfiction. Using the Books for Reading in the Science Curriculum Pull out these books to support and enhance your science lessons on animal groups. Each book is loaded with amazing photos, compelling content, diagrams, call-outs, charts, Fast Facts, vocabulary words, chapters, a glossary, and comprehension questions. Using the Books to Teach Vocabulary With highlighted vocabulary words throughout the book and a glossary in the back, the books lend themselves to a variety of vocabulary lessons and activities (see page 7 for ideas). Using the Books for Independent Reading These books make great additions to your independent reading library because they are leveled readers (levels J and K). Place one copy of each book in your independent reading library and let children select books during independent reading time or for reading homework. Using the Books for Guided Reading With six copies of each leveled book, it is easy to group students and provide guided reading instruction. 3
3 Six Reasons to Teach Nonfiction The benefits of teaching with nonfiction text are plentiful. Here are six. 1 Nonfiction Builds Vocabulary Nonfiction exposes children to different vocabulary than that found in storybooks. Words from the Science Vocabulary Readers, such as adaptable, carnivore, offspring, warm-blooded, and scales, expand students ability to communicate in specialized areas building concepts as well as confidence. 2 Nonfiction Increases Content Knowledge Students discover a large body of useful information when they read informational texts. Many children like to become experts in a topic and enjoy learning and sharing unusual facts. 3 Nonfiction Is a Must for Academic Achievement As children move to higher grades, they encounter more expository materials. Repeated exposure to such texts provides a foundation that helps students master subjects more easily. 4 Nonfiction Is Essential for Successful Test Taking Most standardized tests require students to read both fiction and nonfiction passages. Children who have early instruction with nonfiction texts have deeper comprehension of the genre and greater ease with tests. 5 Nonfiction Prepares Students for Real-Life Reading Adults are bombarded at work and at home with information from advertising, newspapers, magazines, recipes, manuals, the Internet, and more. Early and regular exposure to informational text will help prepare children for our information-filled world. 6 Nonfiction Appeals to Many Children Some of the students in your class will simply prefer nonfiction to fiction. For them, and for reluctant readers who just might be turned on by engaging, leveled content, nonfiction texts offer another means to hook students and create lifelong readers. 5
4 How Reading Nonfiction Differs From Reading Fiction N onfiction readers have different goals than readers of fiction. We read fiction to learn what happens to characters in a story. We read nonfiction to gather information and learn about new things. When reading fiction, we follow the flow of text from left to right and top to bottom. When reading nonfiction, we often must navigate special features, such as photos, captions, charts, and diagrams, that interrupt the flow of the text. These features are sometimes confusing to young readers. Therefore, it is important to explain how these features support the text and provide clarification and additional information. Nonfiction Features in Science Vocabulary Readers Explain to students that the nonfiction features they see in their Science Vocabulary Readers can help them understand what they read. Chapter titles tell what the chapter is about. Colorful photographs and illustrations give information and summarize the text. Captions and labels add more information or clarify the photos and illustrations. Boldface words signal important vocabulary that the reader needs to remember. A glossary gives the meaning and pronunciation of the important words in the text. Diagrams and charts present information in a way that is easy to understand. Fast Facts are interesting and fun facts about the topic located throughout the books. Tip! Share with students that they need to read nonfiction differently than they read fiction because nonfiction requires a different purpose for reading and contains different text features. Make a class chart entitled What Makes a Good Nonfiction Reader? (page 7) that students can refer to during nonfiction lessons. 6
